Departments

The School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences is home to four departments, offering a range of graduate and undergraduate degrees. To find out more, visit the departments sites below, or browse our undergraduate and graduate offerings.

Environmental Earth System Science works to understand, predict, and respond to human-caused and natural environmental change at local to global scales. To do so, the department investigates the complexity of the global system, including the interactions, synergies, and feedbacks that link the oceans, atmosphere, land surfaces, and freshwater systems.

Geological and Environmental Sciences focuses on the history and structure of the Earth, the physics and chemistry of Earth materials, the processes that cycle those materials on a global scale, and the interaction of human activities with geological processes and resources.
